Chapter 80 There is a gap between the first-tier and the second-tier (Please order first!)
Chu Ze bought some daily necessities at the store before riding his electric scooter back home.

There was still some time before noon, so I went upstairs to type for a while, and then ordered takeout for lunch.

After finishing a chapter of the novel in the afternoon, Chu Ze was checking his phone during a break and remembered that he almost forgot to watch Xia Anruo's new album.

He quickly opened the Chinese music app, bought Xia Anruo's album, and listened to it.

Although I had heard how Xia Anruo sang when I taught her to sing before, there was still a huge difference between the effect of singing a cappella and the finished song after the music was arranged and the pitch was adjusted.

After listening to the three songs, Chu Ze couldn't help but sigh that Xia Anruo's singing skills were indeed good. Her unique voice made these three songs have her own style, which was not inferior to the original singer.

He clicked on the list again and took a look.

The three songs "The First Dream", "Young and Promising" and "The Wind Rises" have successfully entered the top 50 of the new song list, and "The First Dream", which is the title song and is heavily promoted by the company, has even entered the top 20, and its ranking is still rising rapidly.

It’s only been two or three hours since the release, and this result can be said to be very good. In the past, this would definitely have been able to reach the top.

But it’s hard to say now, because Chu Ze knows that Xia Anruo has another opponent named...

what do you say that is?

Xu what?
Oh yes, Xu Ya.

I almost thought that the sequelae of excessive conduction had come back.

It is obvious that they came prepared and have no moral principles. I don't know if Master Xia can withstand it this time.

Chu Ze flipped through the list and found that although they were released at the same time, three songs by Xu Ya had entered the top 20.

One song, "Flowers Falling", ranked 15th, one song, "The Only Gift", ranked 13th, and another song, which should be Xu Ya's hit song, "Under the Starlight", had already entered the top ten, reaching an astonishing seventh place.

Is this the value of the former number one sister?

It’s indeed not covered up.

In terms of album sales, Xu Ya has already entered the top ten, while Xia Anruo is still hovering around the twentieth place.

Just from the current rankings, Chu Ze roughly understood how big the popularity gap was between Xia Anruo and Xu Ya. After all, the initial performance of an album release can best reflect a singer's popularity. Of course, it is also related to the company's publicity efforts, but fan support is the key to making the list in the beginning.

At the moment, it seems that Xia Anruo's popularity is indeed not on the same level as Xu Ya.

It can only be said that there is a gap between the first-tier singers. The accumulation of the veteran singers is indeed not comparable to what Xia Anruo can currently compare to.

A few hours after Xia Anruo's album was released, some of Xia Anruo's friends in the circle also spontaneously helped to repost and support it. For example, Chen Yao and Song Ziqi from the same company helped promote it on Weibo.

The momentum of the new song to hit the charts suddenly became even faster.

"An Ruo's album this time is of very high quality. I like all ten songs."

"This time the title song is really great, I really like the melody."

"It's worth my long wait. The new songs are all very good. I might consider buying a physical album to keep."

All the comments on Xia Anruo's Weibo about the new album are praising it.

Liao Qing was somewhat happy looking at these comments: "An Ruo, judging from these reviews, the sales of our new album this time might be higher than your previous albums."

Although Xia Anruo was happy, she was still a little worried because she had just listened to Xu Ya's album, which was of good quality and was currently ranked much higher than hers.

She wasn't sure whether she could beat Xu Ya this time.

By the evening, all three of Xu Ya's songs had made it into the top ten, with the title song "Under the Starlight" already ranking third. Xia Anruo's momentum was also strong, with "The First Dream" ranking seventh, "Young and Promising" and "The Wind Rises" ranking twelfth and fourteenth respectively.

The results of both sides can be said to be terrifying, it is like a fight between gods.

……

It was the middle of the night and Xu Ya had just finished recording a variety show and returned to the nanny car.

She leaned back in her seat and squinted her eyes to take a break. She casually asked her manager Tang Yu, "How is the performance of the new album?"

"It's still as good as ever. 'Under the Starlight' is already third, 'The Only Gift' is fifth, 'Flowers Fall' is sixth, and the other two are in the top 20." Tang Yu reported as he looked at the data on the charts on his phone.

"Not bad, this time the momentum is stronger than the previous album." Hearing the results, Xu Ya nodded with satisfaction, "If nothing unexpected happens, it should be able to top the list tomorrow."

"It will probably be ready early this morning." Tang Yu nodded and estimated.

"By the way, what about Xia Anruo's grades?" Xu Ya then remembered the issue that concerned her most at the moment.

Your own performance is not the key; what matters is how it compares to Xia Anruo's.

"Her hit song 'The First Dream' is now ranked seventh, and two other songs are also in the top 15. It is expected that they will soon enter the top 10."

"How come her ranking has risen so quickly?" Xu Ya couldn't help but frowned when she heard that Xia Anruo's results were also so good.

Although it was still a little behind her, the gap was much smaller than she expected.

"Because the three new songs that An Ruo is promoting this time seem to be of very high quality..." Tang Yu explained.

Upon hearing this, Xu Ya waved at Tang Yu, indicating that she should hand over her cell phone.

She opened Xia Anruo's new album and listened to the songs one by one. Her eyes became gradually solemn.

There is nothing special about the other songs, mainly the three songs "The First Dream", "Young and Promising" and "The Wind Rises", which are of very high quality and each of them is high enough to support the quality of an album.

Although I don't want to admit it, the only song in my album that can compare with these three in terms of quality is the title song "Under the Starlight", and even the second title song "The Only Gift" is a little bit inferior, not to mention the others.

She clicked on the comment section of "The First Dream":
"Oh my god, An Ruo's song is so beautiful!"

"The lyrics are so well written and inspiring!"

"Is this album by An Ruo based on inspiration? It made me cry."

Looking at the all-positive comments in the comment section, Xu Ya's hand holding the phone gradually tightened.

She actually felt threatened by this junior whom she once looked down upon.

Where on earth did this woman Xia Anruo get three new songs of such high quality?

You have to know that she had just temporarily replaced the song because of Cai Qinghong’s incident not long ago!

Xu Ya stared at the two columns under the lyrics and composers of the three songs, which were all filled with the word "Tu Dou".

This inconspicuous name made Xu Ya fall into deep thought...

She had a hunch that this person might be the biggest obstacle in her future attempts to bring down Xia Anruo.
